| Summary: | The last 25 years of New Order rule has been a period of enormous change. Women have been brought into the wage labour force and have also achieved impressive gains in professional employment. However, despite the increased economic importance of women, more and more university students have begun to don the Islamic headcovering known as the jilbab. The adoption of the jilbab involves restrictions of women's freedom. Based on interviews with students and faculty at universities in Palembang, South Sumatra, the author explores how the New Order and the Islamic Dakwah movement have mobilised anxieties about social status and change in the new middle class.
